In the video above, Charles can be seen getting uncomfortable when asked about the Lopez brothers. After his stance on this issue, the internet did not take very kindly to him, with many users questioning his views on pedophilia.

Why is it so hard to say you don't like pedophiles?

Twitter also called Charles out because he didn't want to comment, but then he was still making money from collaborating with the Lopez brothers.

All of a sudden he doesn’t want to be a part of it. How convenient for you @jamescharles ?? But you still continue to make money of that collab. You’re an idiot 🤡🤡🤡

Another user on Twitter believed Charles was wise not to comment on the issue because the case is still open and pending trial. The user also acknowledged that Charles should report to the authorities if he knew anything about the Lopez brothers' controversy.

I also want to add that he should contact authorities if either of the Lopez brothers said anything to him. It doesn't seem like he saw anything first hand, but the only one who knows that is James Charles himself.

Users have also gone on to draw parallels between Charles and Donald Trump.

Giving Trump not being able to denounce white supremacist vibes. Or his Ghislane Maxwell “I just wish her well” comment

LMAOOOO feels like when Trump wished good on Jeffrey Epstein's wife when she was trailed for sex trafficking 😭😭😭😭

The situation surrounding the Lopez brothers is indeed compassionate at this point. In a video released on TikTok, a woman has a conversation with what seems like Ondreaz Lopez on the phone.

*SERIOUS* CW: PedophiliaOndreaz Lopez (23) aka Tony Lopez’s older brother exposed for allegedly having relations with 14-year-old girl. It’s unclear what Ondreaz did to minor since it is not described in video. Tony Lopez currently sued by two 15-year-olds he allegedly abused. pic.twitter.com/MtFP1THEl3

What makes the issue more controversial is that the individual on the phone acknowledges that his actions were punishable by law. However, it's still unclear if the individual on the other side of the phone is Lopez. Two minor girls are also suing his younger brother Tony Lopez based on the same allegations.
